From West Bank to EU supermarkets: How much longer will Israeli settler imports go on?

Food and wine from Israeli settlers is still flowing into European shops directly from the West Bank front lines — but Israel risks losing Italy’s protection from EU sanctions.

EU consumers are eating AdaFresh’s edible flowers, Carmel oranges, Hadiklem dates, and Jordan River Herbs from Israeli settler firms in Palestine’s occupied West Bank, for instance.

They are also drinking Psagot, Shilo, and Zion wines from the West Bank, as well as Golan Heights and Tishri wines from Israeli-annexed Syrian territory.

These were among some 45 settler firms who exported agricultural produce and construction equipment to the EU, according to the Coopération Internationale pour le Développement et la Solidarité (CIDSE) group in Brussels and the Israeli WhoProfits research centre.

Total EU trade in goods with Israel grew to €43.3bn in 2025, up from €42.6bn in 2024, despite the Gaza war.
